0:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome to the Under Center podcast, presented by fanside at that man right there.
0:04
[SPEAKER_00]: He is Alex Puro.
0:05
[SPEAKER_00]: This gentleman sitting here, I am Kenneth Davis.
0:09
[SPEAKER_00]: And we have a celebration like Cool and the Gang is in our living rooms right now because the bears, okay, I gotta give a little to the Panthers.
0:18
[SPEAKER_00]: They both combined for the highest scoring total on an opening day game in NFL history.
0:25
[SPEAKER_00]: the points or everywhere.
0:27
[SPEAKER_00]: You get a point.
0:27
[SPEAKER_00]: You get a score.
0:29
[SPEAKER_00]: You get a score.
0:29
[SPEAKER_00]: You got a score.
0:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Bears quarterback and MVP favorite.
0:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Caleb Williams was 21 for 29 for 269 yards and ran for 65 yards scoring two TTTs with the feet and two with his arms, one of coasts, I mean commit and then the other one to Jaday Walker, which Jaday Walker will enter this conversation a day for some of the things that he did during this game.
0:58
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
0:59
[SPEAKER_00]: We got guys and things that we have to go over.
1:02
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
1:03
[SPEAKER_00]: First, let's start there with Caleb.
1:05
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean,
1:06
[SPEAKER_00]: My goodness.
1:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, oh, me, oh, I mean, Caleb got with take Caleb was worn out.
1:12
[SPEAKER_00]: If you looked to him in a fourth quarter, he was a little bit tired from scoring some heavy points and doing everything he had to do, but he was enjoying it.
1:20
[SPEAKER_00]: And I mean, Ben Johnson and Caleb are a tandem that seems like they're going to go down in history.
1:27
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll get into Ben Johnson a little bit later.
1:28
[SPEAKER_00]: He did do one Ben Johnson thing that has been we trust, but sometimes
1:34
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, your thoughts on Caleb's performance, this opening day.
1:39
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that's just about as good as it gets.
1:42
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought he was damn near perfect for those of you playing along at home.
1:48
[SPEAKER_01]: And we'll probably, we should track this.
1:50
[SPEAKER_01]: We should track this as the season goes on.
1:52
[SPEAKER_01]: The goal was 70 percent completion rate, which seemed like a lofty goal based on
2:05
[SPEAKER_01]: And B, he completed like 55% of his passes last year.
2:10
[SPEAKER_01]: So that was a big, big goal that they set out for Caleb Williams to do.
2:15
[SPEAKER_01]: He was 72.4% today.
2:17
[SPEAKER_01]: I had a schedule two, four, four.
2:19
[SPEAKER_01]: 72.4, that is outstanding.
2:21
[SPEAKER_01]: And a lot of the incompletions, especially early, were throwaways.
2:27
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, the first incompletion was just like a live to die another day good decision and he had several of those that were just hey great job getting out of the pocket and throw on the ball away I don't think he made a bad throw I didn't have him peg.
2:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, no, he had at least two bad throws no until until the coast and lovelin to miss okay.
2:47
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not sure what happened there But that was the first one that really dinged for me as like okay that that was a bad one, but
2:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, if you're telling me your QB through one bathroom, it wasn't a turnover.
3:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, you know what I'm saying?
3:03
[SPEAKER_00]: And again, that at that point was contentious because it was you school Oscar you score, right?
3:08
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, it was tight.
3:10
[SPEAKER_00]: and then it got back to how I said that the shit was going to be and that the bear is going to let Carolina know you Carolina and we're the bears, but also this too.
3:19
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean the the standard or what the bear showed us because I want to actually give Carolina more props than I did prior to going to this game.
3:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Caroline is that staff that players they have on a defense.
3:29
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they have better players on a defense than the bears have on their Jalen Phillips looks like Browns in the middle Jalen Phillips, whoever 58 or 52 us screaming off the edge The hunter the rookie hunter.
3:42
[SPEAKER_00]: We hunter
3:44
[SPEAKER_00]: the lead horn.
3:47
[SPEAKER_00]: I forget the other corner back.
3:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, they got CDs for days.
3:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like do they actually like they just have to kind of pick one they were playing the bears.
3:55
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm being honest.
3:55
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not even saying is being someone who loves the bears we've complained about the bears need more defense or one of the things that we have said is then just let us know they're going to score to win they're going to play scored a win game.
4:07
[SPEAKER_00]: This was it.
4:08
[SPEAKER_00]: This was the screen.
4:08
[SPEAKER_00]: I was it.
4:09
[SPEAKER_01]: He said it all season long defense might give up 30, but offense is going to have to score 50 guess what they scored for 59 almost scored.
4:16
[SPEAKER_00]: They almost score 60 points.
4:19
[SPEAKER_00]: They almost put up 60 points and the opener that went back and forth and then in the second half, they put their neck down and once and shot to finish out with this.
4:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Once they got Caroline and one dimensional and have run that run didn't matter anymore, GG.
4:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep, game over, right there, man.
4:39
[SPEAKER_00]: They go get them, just man.
4:42
[SPEAKER_00]: Some of the notes, some of the things that stood out to me as far as the players, one, we have to talk about the running backs.
4:49
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, we have to talk about Dianjrey Swift, and Kalmanunga looks faster than he did at Rutgers.
4:55
[SPEAKER_00]: But he's so skinny.
4:56
[SPEAKER_00]: He showed that.
4:57
[SPEAKER_00]: That's Lakers.
4:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, and also shout out to Jadae Walker for blocking for him on that block too, right?
5:04
[SPEAKER_00]: And even though Luther Bernie, even one player had a chance to get the get count of none got about the ankles and he just didn't want to do it.
5:11
[SPEAKER_00]: But you look at the Andre Swift 18 carries for 124 yards.
5:15
[SPEAKER_00]: 6.9 yard average for 3 TDs and a long of 32 cowman-nung guy second year play out of Rutgers.
5:22
[SPEAKER_00]: 10 carries, 100 yards, average 10 yards per carry, 1 TD, a long of 61 Caleb Williams, 10 carries, 65 yards, the average of 6 and a half yards per carry, 2 TDs and a long of almost 30.
5:39
[SPEAKER_01]: Man, you running backs over a hundred yards, two running backs over a hundred yards.
5:42
[SPEAKER_01]: They had two running backs over one hundred yards.
5:46
[SPEAKER_00]: That is outrageous.
5:47
[SPEAKER_00]: It's what they did to the Eagles.
5:49
[SPEAKER_00]: It's what they did to the Eagles.
5:50
[SPEAKER_00]: And we had, we had our guy that we used to work with at NBC and we're coming join us.
5:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Adam and me, not that killing Druparies did pretty well, too.
5:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Did to Druparies.
5:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Druparies in solid.
6:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, Jubilee's the solid.
6:01
[SPEAKER_00]: I love seeing Adam do his work out.
6:03
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm so good at what he does.
6:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Bryce, young 23, a 37, 361 yards, 3TDs, 1 interception, QBR, 65, Caleb had a 94.9, their ratings, Caleb had a 124.1, Bryce had a 110.3, I mean, these guys were dealing.
6:21
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, even if you think of it, the crazy thing is this to, I want to get the bears, I want to get a bear's defense a little bit of props.
6:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Just a little bit.
6:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, at a certain point, tuber Hubbard and Jonathan Brooks were basically doing what they wanted to do, because I mean, I'm gonna take these jars of Dylan, AJ Dylan guy doesn't even matter.
6:39
[SPEAKER_00]: He had five cares for almost 30 yards, but you would have thought he had about 80 yards.
6:44
[SPEAKER_00]: He had 49 yards.
6:45
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
6:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Jonathan Brooks have 14 yards.
6:48
[SPEAKER_00]: The bears defense, I will say this compared to last year, the run defense looked a little bit better.
6:53
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, a little bit better.
6:54
[SPEAKER_00]: It did a little bit.
6:55
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm giving it a word to go about up.
6:57
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, I think you're right.
7:00
[SPEAKER_00]: You're right.
7:01
[SPEAKER_00]: But the defense, I mean, clearly, you think about the fact that gave up 37 points.
7:06
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
7:07
[SPEAKER_00]: That's messed up.
7:09
[SPEAKER_00]: And I wanted to use the F word instead of saying messed up.
7:12
[SPEAKER_00]: But that's messed up.
7:13
[SPEAKER_00]: And this is going to happen.
7:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Be something that they fix.
7:16
[SPEAKER_00]: And I hate to say this because it's too early.
7:18
[SPEAKER_00]: How good this team looks.
7:19
[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to have to do something when it comes to making a move.
7:23
[SPEAKER_00]: They just are.
7:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Here's what I will say though.
7:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Here's what I will say.
7:27
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think this is a bad Panthers team and I said that in the lead up to the game and I feel that still after the game Bryce young looked I mean we talked about Bryce young's improvement last season He looked even better in this game.
7:43
[SPEAKER_01]: He looked like a very comfortable, very capable starter that running that running attack is legit
7:50
[SPEAKER_01]: they have plenty of weapons on on the receiving side of the ball is even for the best of all players exactly the the tight ends.
8:01
[SPEAKER_01]: And then we talked about all the all the all the issues they present on defense.
8:07
[SPEAKER_01]: So I don't view this as a bear's beating Bumslayers, being Bumslayers and beating a team like the Raiders from last year or beating a team like the Saints last year.
8:16
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they wound up against a pretty good, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I'm probably gonna be a playoff team.
8:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and it really took it to a.
8:23
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not that Alex, I just, you know what, there will be better offensive teams that you play with more season quarterbacks.
8:30
[SPEAKER_00]: And this isn't a shot, let's roll tight.
8:32
[SPEAKER_00]: And Bryce, I love Bryce when he was there because he stole the championship.
8:35
[SPEAKER_00]: He really wasn't supposed to win that one.
8:37
[SPEAKER_00]: And he, he got, and who we didn't know that would be the last.
8:40
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, they should have won a beat Michigan at a game, but that's a distinctive discussion for another day before an excitement stepped away.
8:47
[SPEAKER_00]: But Bryce Young really looks like he deserves to get paid because Carolina,
8:53
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, and he was the key to why y'all were winning.
8:56
[SPEAKER_00]: It wasn't, he wasn't a system guy.
8:59
[SPEAKER_00]: No, it was him.
9:00
[SPEAKER_00]: You got players around him though.
9:01
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll give you your props.
9:02
[SPEAKER_00]: You got players around him, but it was him.
9:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Y'all made sure he'll start to get to that early, so you don't have to pay him as much.
9:07
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, moving forward.
9:09
[SPEAKER_00]: But I'm with you.
9:10
[SPEAKER_00]: They aren't a terrible team.
9:11
[SPEAKER_00]: They made it to the playoffs.
9:12
[SPEAKER_00]: They lost to the Rams like the Bears lost to the Rams and the playoffs and they both only lost about three points.
9:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Still,
9:18
[SPEAKER_00]: the defense when a point was going to make they're going to play teams that are better offensively really due to experience you know what I'm saying that you're not going to beat and that's where you go I go you go I go they're going to be teams that can still go like for instance this was a 49ers like last year this would have been a problem you know what I'm saying like those later yes this this this yeah so you that's where defensively
9:42
[SPEAKER_00]: they need to force more to play it's just it's like at one point let me ask you this question Alison we'll get back to this game at one point do you take the swing and I'm not even talking about giving up for I'm think this is my thoughts everybody I know I'm jumping I'm jumping the the the to shark right right you got to get a pass Russia I'm taking a second I'm taking that second round pit do we have a second round pit
10:08
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm with you.
10:09
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's like a day.
10:11
[SPEAKER_01]: It doesn't.
10:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we're we're over reacting to week one.
10:14
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's just call it what it is.
10:15
[SPEAKER_01]: We're over reacting to week one.
10:17
[SPEAKER_01]: It happens all the time.
10:18
[SPEAKER_01]: But this was a performance, especially in an offensive performance that looked so good.
10:23
[SPEAKER_01]: It's got me thinking crazy.
10:25
[SPEAKER_01]: We're like last week when we were talking about the Josh sweat potential trade, right?
10:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Go back and listen to our last episode to listen to our Josh sweat trade talk.
10:33
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, yeah, make that happen.
10:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Make Josh sweat happen because I don't want to give up at first.
10:40
[SPEAKER_01]: But here's a thing chances to win super balls down around windows can close as quickly as they open and like if you feel like this is the year and this is the offense.
10:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Then do it.
10:55
[SPEAKER_01]: then do it.
10:56
[SPEAKER_01]: Rams.
10:57
[SPEAKER_01]: I am the Ram's method, the less need method, FM picks man.
11:02
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's go win some super bowls.
11:03
[SPEAKER_01]: And if you think, and again, I'm overreacting to week one.
11:06
[SPEAKER_01]: But if this is an offense, it's going to put up damn near 60 points.
11:09
[SPEAKER_01]: And you just got a, you know, on the night that you score 35, you got to keep that other team under 35.
11:15
[SPEAKER_01]: And that if that takes Josh Sweat, go get Josh Sweat.
11:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Just and I'm okay.
11:20
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm with that.
11:21
[SPEAKER_00]: I still prefer to give up a second round pick, but it really has to be somebody that can kind of affect the passing game.
11:28
[SPEAKER_00]: It's really that.
11:30
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to I would like the guy to be able to set the edge.
11:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you know what?
11:33
[SPEAKER_00]: If you can't, we'll kind of figure that out.
11:35
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, but if you can, if you can rush the QB and now you can help that defense
11:42
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll get to that.
11:43
[SPEAKER_00]: I want us to have fun right now before we get to some of the defensive backfield issues because Hey, somebody didn't look right in that defensive backfield that you are really dependent on and that person is James on.
11:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, all right.
11:56
[SPEAKER_00]: There was some time he got beat his hips like tight.
12:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Tyre Stoosen didn't have necessarily to riff again.
12:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Think Dylan theme and had a good game for rookie.
12:08
[SPEAKER_00]: But I mean there was that that like you would think getting some of your starters back we already know the defense of back it was beat up But the guy that you need in jail and and Jalen is is really good extremely good Damn near elite, but it looks like the damn near elite part may not be there.
12:25
[SPEAKER_00]: I hope it's that's not true and move before he can get back to the player that he was I don't want to condemn him right now, but I want to flip it to some good some good stuff
12:35
[SPEAKER_00]: that just stood out to me.
12:37
[SPEAKER_00]: We went from a time last year where it was, man, there's been Johnson really won the Andre Swift.
12:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Man, he was in Detroit when I'm dead and keep him, whatever, they probably going to replace him.
12:47
[SPEAKER_00]: So the only Swift game pay, to God's been telling us last year, Kalmanung, God was trash.
12:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, man, y'all brought this manung, I ain't gonna be nothing.
12:55
[SPEAKER_00]: do.
12:55
[SPEAKER_00]: But both of them look so damn good.
12:58
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
12:58
[SPEAKER_00]: To the salt.
12:59
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, well, you know what?
13:00
[SPEAKER_00]: And again, I'm sure they'll do it.
13:02
[SPEAKER_00]: But I'm like, they don't even want to get hurt.
13:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Take run it back off of the list of perhaps things you need to even think about in the drama.
13:08
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, God.
13:09
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
13:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
13:10
[SPEAKER_00]: but the thing was Alex, so many times we thought of a later round pick being used and accidentally it still was me in time I was maybe on Thomas in a different way as you want to use him, but it's just it's just wild to see a guy that used to dance a little bit too much when it came to Swift being so decisive and so damn slippery and now and probably what he's
13:38
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a vet, but he looks at his best right now.
13:42
[SPEAKER_00]: And Kamenunga is better than he was in college.
13:44
[SPEAKER_00]: He's better than he was in the rookie.
13:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Having that tandem, and as you mentioned, Kamenunga have a breakaway speed as a bumper at Rutgers, a bumper that would never turn over to ball.
13:57
[SPEAKER_00]: to be a guy that knocking at the whole active to a house is, man, shout out, I'll give shout out to Ryan Polls, all right, I'll give the answer to another extension, man.
14:07
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm ready to give him another extension.
14:09
[SPEAKER_01]: They they extended them over the weekend, tack on another meal, tack on another year, man.
14:14
[SPEAKER_00]: After I gave him like that, extended them again.
14:17
[SPEAKER_00]: That's okay.
14:18
[SPEAKER_00]: The author is Smith to us.
14:20
[SPEAKER_00]: You're got to leave for Amy.
14:22
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not done with the Andre Swift.
14:23
[SPEAKER_01]: I got one more.
14:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Go ahead.
14:24
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought that's no true breeds.
14:25
[SPEAKER_01]: No, you're good.
14:26
[SPEAKER_01]: You're good.
14:26
[SPEAKER_01]: I just want to attack something on because everything you said was so on point with the Andre Swift.
14:31
[SPEAKER_01]: Mm-hmm.
14:31
[SPEAKER_01]: Drew breeds highlighted this and I noticed it a couple times.
14:35
[SPEAKER_01]: How about the past pro, man?
14:37
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I'm picking up.
14:38
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm so happy you did that.
14:38
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm so, I'm so happy you did that.
14:40
[SPEAKER_01]: Because that's what's said.
14:41
[SPEAKER_01]: Both of them, both of them, both of them too.
14:43
[SPEAKER_00]: But you're right, on that.
14:45
[SPEAKER_00]: And one of the cables going to get killed.
14:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
14:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Like by Bobby O'Kerarchy.
14:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, yes.
14:50
[SPEAKER_00]: And there was one with, well, when I got, he came all the way across, because I think, Braxon, Braxon got beat.
14:57
[SPEAKER_00]: I believe is what happened.
15:02
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll get to Bruxin little later.
15:04
[SPEAKER_00]: But you go ahead, Swift, Pass Pro, when I got to, but Swift definitely, it was highlighted to think that they're protecting their quarterback in that manner.
15:13
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's usually a big issue on why you don't want guys out there.
15:16
[SPEAKER_00]: But knowing, basically you can have either, no, the thing is, and of course, Swift is more of the pass catching guy, even though they both can do it.
15:25
[SPEAKER_00]: But now, in a way, you don't have to be like, oh, he can't be in for this.
15:29
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a young, he's a young, he's a second-year player.
15:33
[SPEAKER_00]: The past protection we may not be, no, he can do that too.
15:36
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a thumper, but you know, he can't necessarily get a home or no.
15:40
[SPEAKER_00]: He can do that too.
15:41
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's where that tandem now, where it looks like, yeah, we got us a nice B tandem.
15:46
[SPEAKER_00]: No, they're, they're right now, they're like, hey, and you know, if, no, let me refer to that.
15:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Ever since after week five last year,
15:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah.
15:54
[SPEAKER_00]: That tandem has been an eight.
15:55
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
15:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, hey, do you give me what what what what, what, what, um, usually the the Falcons have a nice tandem back there, whoever plays will be John is usually going to be nice any way, but they had, uh, outgear for whatever for the longest plant behind him, but
16:10
[SPEAKER_00]: This is a sweet tandem between these two players.
16:13
[SPEAKER_00]: I also want to get a process of God that you said they should bring in do for agency and that's relief Raymond.
16:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Eight receptions, 84 yards, an average of 10 and a half along with 28, nine targets, looped a burden, five receptions, 63 yards, 12.6 average, 25, 4 was the loan.
16:29
[SPEAKER_00]: He got five targets.
16:31
[SPEAKER_00]: So every time he was a targeted he got it, Rome had three targets.
16:34
[SPEAKER_00]: collected two receptions for 52 yards, 26 yards was his average.
16:40
[SPEAKER_00]: And of him, you got co-comment, two receptions, but that one, and oh my goodness, Alice, that but Tati.
16:46
[SPEAKER_00]: That was like the hand of the Lord just dropped it up into co-comment's hands.
16:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Just where that ball was placed, and this is a quarterback under pressure.
16:57
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I'm saying?
16:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Like,
16:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Look, I still don't think we really know what's going on because we've never lived this life before here in Chicago, right?
17:06
[SPEAKER_01]: Like it's kind of like, we're gonna run meme.
17:08
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't believe this is my life right now.
17:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
17:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
17:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.
17:12
[SPEAKER_00]: We've never, dark.
17:13
[SPEAKER_00]: This do is, is an, is an honest to God in B. P. Canada if he can see you's the hottest.
17:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, my God.
17:20
[SPEAKER_00]: If he plays like this every game, he will be the MVP.
17:24
[SPEAKER_01]: I like again we're talking absolutely crazy.
17:27
[SPEAKER_00]: I do think Caleb Williams was that good because it's not just the playmaking it's not just the wild roads like that it was also the decision making how many bad decisions didn't make Maybe the one to lower the shoulder at the goal line that one he also had the past to roam first well he had two times where he ran backwards and it's like stop doing that all right
17:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Right and the thing that we have to remember Caleb and I'm I'm going to take the rose color glasses off y'all He can't get hurt like this and I'm happy some of the times instead of running it up He ran it out you know ran it out of me.
18:05
[SPEAKER_00]: This is like there's no need for that But I need Caleb to stop when the buck when the play is over Holding on to the ball to see who's gonna get open why he's running to the sideline because sometimes They're gonna be a defender that can catch up to him and he can get hurt
18:18
[SPEAKER_00]: he can get hurt throwing a ball out of bounds while going on a silence.
18:21
[SPEAKER_00]: This is getting it won't get the ball away so the defender has no right to touch you.
18:24
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, get rid of, we, you're too valuable for any of that.
18:28
[SPEAKER_00]: He's like, it would live, look, those plays, he didn't even, that was, it was in complete classroom room.
18:33
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, so you didn't necessarily even do anything, even though you got to up in the past, so that allowed you to go ahead and go for it.
18:39
[SPEAKER_00]: But stuff like that, and again, it's small, it's, it's, it's peanuts, but those peanuts could really hurt you if he gets hurt.
18:48
[SPEAKER_00]: and it's not a knock on Tyson Vagent.
18:50
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's not a knock on Dammit of the 20 quarterbacks.
18:55
[SPEAKER_00]: If there's 30 in the league, it's 20 of them aren't even close to being able to do this.
18:59
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I'm saying?
19:00
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's where it's like Caleb, you're different.
19:02
[SPEAKER_00]: And you're probably kind of top five where air with talent and potential and all that.
19:07
[SPEAKER_00]: But you can't, don't waste it.
19:08
[SPEAKER_00]: We're getting hurt.
19:09
[SPEAKER_00]: That's that's it.
19:10
[SPEAKER_00]: That's not only...
19:11
[SPEAKER_01]: in terms of taking care of the football.
19:13
[SPEAKER_01]: Sure, taking care of yourself is one thing.
19:15
[SPEAKER_01]: In terms of taking care of the football, and putting the football where it needs to be and making the decision to not throw the football and run or not run and throw the ball out of bounds.
19:25
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, his decision making was a on point and b decisive.
19:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
19:31
[SPEAKER_01]: How many times did we talk about, oh, we need to see Caleb Williams do it in the rhythm of the offense.
19:35
[SPEAKER_01]: That dude was in the rhythm of the offense almost the entire game.
19:39
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, fall out of time with anticipation to dude was dealing and he was in total command.
19:46
[SPEAKER_01]: I just felt like the entire game.
19:48
[SPEAKER_01]: Caleb Williams was in total command of that offense.
19:50
[SPEAKER_00]: He played on schedule majority of the game, and I really want to say times where he wasn't playing on schedule.
19:57
[SPEAKER_00]: It was really due to some blocking issues.
19:59
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, at times.
20:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen, Jackson Jones got hurt.
20:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Somebody need them or lay down his back.
20:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, but Braxton was doing some Braxton and out there, um, look, penalty was, this game was ridiculous.
20:14
[SPEAKER_01]: That's definitely.
20:15
[SPEAKER_01]: If, like, whatever the opposite of a silver lining is, it's so weird.
20:18
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, in the past, we should have terrible terrible games and have one silver lining.
20:22
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, this is an incredible game.
20:23
[SPEAKER_01]: But I guess one gripe, one thorn, the penalties were out right nine penalties in the first half.
20:28
[SPEAKER_01]: Kind of, that is outrageous.
20:31
[SPEAKER_00]: And I look, now give you, I'll give you a hold.
20:34
[SPEAKER_00]: when it's like, okay, I'm beat, and I don't want you to touch the quarterback, I don't want you to get to the run-and-back.
20:40
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll give you a hold on that, okay?
20:42
[SPEAKER_00]: Thought holes?
20:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, whatever.
20:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that what I'm going to understand, though?
20:48
[SPEAKER_00]: was like, man, come on, man, you have to ball out and you have to play better than this, definitely depending on where you expect to be towards the end of this season.
20:57
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's just an issue that kind of popped up last year and it's something that, yeah, it's something that they, so the bears had 12 penalties for 57 yard loss to 11 for Carolina for a loss of 85 yards.
21:08
[SPEAKER_00]: Ugly.
21:13
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't, you would think a game that was this much scoring, you wouldn't have 23 penalties out there basically with the game where the teams were going up and down the field but yet it's something that they need to do some of the boneheaded plays on the definitely need to take care of.
21:28
[SPEAKER_00]: There are a lot of plays.
21:30
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, look at care a lot inside.
21:31
[SPEAKER_00]: They had that touch first of all.
21:33
[SPEAKER_00]: They had that interception.
21:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, that got called back because the defender was off sides.
21:39
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
21:40
[SPEAKER_00]: And then on top of that, the defender who intercepted the ball didn't stay his ass in the damn line.
21:46
[SPEAKER_00]: So he ran it out, ran it out.
21:49
[SPEAKER_00]: That was some boneheaded things taking place right there.
21:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Like it was that right.
21:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, and that was helpful and beneficial to the bears.
21:56
[SPEAKER_00]: But this was a fun.
21:57
[SPEAKER_00]: There was this was a great way.
21:59
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't go into work today.
22:00
[SPEAKER_00]: I actually ran that supposed to be recording this early.
22:02
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like yeah, I was like I need this day.
22:05
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like I need this day then like how my schedule is we'll be able to do this for the next few next couple weeks at least all right All right, because I'm I'm off next Sunday and then the bear's play a evening game The following week, so we should be fine or whatever, but this again
22:21
[SPEAKER_00]: to not wait and be at work and I'm not trying to look at my phone and then something's going pop up on my phone and I'm going to see the bears one the guy fifty nine at thirty seven and I got to watch it knowing the outcome of it already you know what I'm saying like you said the text and then I was like oh wait he's recording oh no yes yes that was like so I put that's odd I put it then I was like all right I know I could so tell you I could feel like you know who's texting you I was like I know
22:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, this text is from whatever.
22:46
[SPEAKER_00]: I looked at that.
22:47
[SPEAKER_00]: I could put it down.
22:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Get back to it or whatever, but yeah, this was a fun game.
22:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Some other things that stood out to me, we mentioned jade jade, special teams, thumber.
23:04
[SPEAKER_00]: blocking.
23:05
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, and one of the calling flags that if you want to do something in this team as a receiver blocking his will shout out to him.
23:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, shout out to him being more than just taking up a seat.
23:18
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I'm saying like, I'm in a receiver room.
23:20
[SPEAKER_00]: No, it's seeing seem like there's a purpose to him being here rather than just I'm a depth guy.
23:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Got to give him props.
23:27
[SPEAKER_00]: We gave Clevver and this pops Ben Johnson.
23:30
[SPEAKER_00]: You shouldn't have with Ford Ford on that fork down.
23:32
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
23:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
23:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's talk about this for a time.
23:34
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to let you go.
23:35
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to let you cook at that point in the game on where you're able, where it seems like you're going to be able to score perhaps at will and you're on your own 20.
23:46
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just no reason to risk a turnover and downs right there and give them a short field.
23:52
[SPEAKER_00]: At this point, you didn't know if you can stop them.
23:56
[SPEAKER_00]: It just to me, and at the point in this is to it's a Ben Johnson type thing, and it's like sometimes bro, just right now when you see what your offense can do,
24:06
[SPEAKER_00]: And I guess that'll be the flip side with your office to do that.
24:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but you know what do that on the opposing side of the field.
24:13
[SPEAKER_00]: So at least that team has to go March the length of the field.
24:16
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't give them a field goal as soon as they get the turn over and down, let alone a chance to go ahead and score that right there.
24:24
[SPEAKER_00]: It was unnecessary.
24:25
[SPEAKER_00]: You didn't know how to game was going to go and I just.
24:27
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to have this be a regular discussion would be in because he wants to show how much of the gunslinger he is, they had coach, or sometimes games listen, they're going to go a different way and that those stuff issues like that can cause losses and there's no reason to risk a loss at this moment in time.
24:44
[SPEAKER_01]: They can.
24:45
[SPEAKER_01]: I have a feeling we're going to have this discussion some more that kind of favors because we have had it for years.
24:50
[SPEAKER_00]: We have this is
24:56
[SPEAKER_01]: Gambling Dan Campbell, not quite riverboat run, so Gambling Dan Campbell, this is part of his identity, and I think this is part of what makes the bears the bears.
25:08
[SPEAKER_01]: And yes,
25:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Overall, do I think, hey, man, maybe slowly roll a little bit, banning that moment?
25:17
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, I do ultimately believe that.
25:20
[SPEAKER_01]: But if I could be the devil's advocate for a little bit, I think it does, I think it accomplishes a few things.
25:26
[SPEAKER_01]: One, you are sending a message to your team.
25:29
[SPEAKER_01]: This is who we are.
25:30
[SPEAKER_01]: we are aggressive.
25:32
[SPEAKER_01]: We believe in ourselves.
25:33
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to get it done.
25:34
[SPEAKER_01]: And they were able to work pass it.
25:36
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it was a moment and it gave the Panthers a lot of momentum.
25:39
[SPEAKER_01]: The Panthers end up tying the game.
25:41
[SPEAKER_01]: It shifted momentum for real, but
25:44
[SPEAKER_01]: theirs did win by over 20 points.
25:47
[SPEAKER_01]: So it ends up being okay.
25:50
[SPEAKER_01]: So it sends a message.
25:52
[SPEAKER_01]: Not only your team, this is who we are.
25:54
[SPEAKER_01]: We're aggressive.
25:54
[SPEAKER_01]: We're confident.
25:55
[SPEAKER_01]: This is what we're going to do.
25:57
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to play to win.
25:59
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to do we are going to do stuff like this.
26:01
[SPEAKER_01]: It also sends a message to the league that this is who we are.
26:06
[SPEAKER_01]: This is the Chicago Bears and put that on tape.
26:09
[SPEAKER_01]: I think is
26:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe something, the bears want to put on tape.
26:13
[SPEAKER_01]: It's kind of like impoker.
26:15
[SPEAKER_01]: Sometimes if you're playing an impoker tournament or a new game, you want to get caught in a bluff early.
26:20
[SPEAKER_01]: And you want to show folks, hey, I'm bluffing.
26:23
[SPEAKER_01]: I got this in my toolkit, so just so you know, sometimes I'm going to drive up the pot and I got nothing, right?
26:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Get a little action that way.
26:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe next time the bears line up on their 32 yard line and it's a tight game and that hard count, we saw Caleb Williams really effective with the hard count last year.
26:43
[SPEAKER_01]: We didn't see a lot of that hard count today, but maybe in week four in a tighter game, they get somebody with the hard count because they know on tape, hey, these guys are crazy, they'll go for it.
26:55
[SPEAKER_01]: They're crazy, these guys are crazy, they'll do it.
26:58
[SPEAKER_01]: So you're putting things on tape that you can then lean on.
27:02
[SPEAKER_01]: that you can lean on later.
27:03
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think it is and it's a lot easier.
27:07
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a lot easier to to say these things in a win than in a loss without a doubt without a doubt.
27:14
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a lot easier to say these things in a win without it than in a loss.
27:17
[SPEAKER_01]: But I do think that there are some there are some benefits to make it a crazy for the one call like that.
27:24
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
27:24
[SPEAKER_00]: So I want to debate this.
27:28
[SPEAKER_00]: because two things that I take away from this.
27:30
[SPEAKER_00]: One, that quarterback's unique shouldn't be a big part of this offense.
27:34
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
27:35
[SPEAKER_00]: That quarterback is lighter than what he was last year.
27:38
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, he's notable to see lighter.
27:41
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think if you know me long enough, you know how I feel about having
27:44
[SPEAKER_00]: took his energy as far as leverage.
27:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
27:48
[SPEAKER_00]: And so some of that took his energy isn't there.
27:51
[SPEAKER_00]: On twice on quarterback sneaks.
27:54
[SPEAKER_00]: He was basically pummeled.
27:55
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
27:57
[SPEAKER_01]: No job done on.
27:59
[SPEAKER_00]: So QB sneaks.
28:00
[SPEAKER_00]: And again, I'm not saying throw it out.
28:02
[SPEAKER_00]: You're going to need it, but he's that's not going to be one of Kail's strength.
28:06
[SPEAKER_00]: He's too slight.
28:07
[SPEAKER_00]: He's not skinny, but he's too slight for that.
28:09
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's not long enough to wear.
28:11
[SPEAKER_00]: He just naturally falls and he's going
28:14
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't care who it is.
28:18
[SPEAKER_00]: If don't take a hold on to the damn ball, go right ahead, right?
28:21
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you could have wildcat it.
28:24
[SPEAKER_00]: But you know, like, I don't care who it is, but I don't think it should be the slight quarterback.
28:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Also know your personnel.
28:31
[SPEAKER_00]: The Browns, I'm not throwing my quarterback against them brown boys.
28:35
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, like, no, you're, no, you're a person that, like, at that.
28:38
[SPEAKER_00]: So that to me is where it's, that was unnecessary, where on Caleb, those QB sneaks, if I'm just being honest, I get what you're saying, having an on tape and everything they did when the game, but again, keeping Caleb healthy is pertinent for this team to do whatever it wants to do.
28:53
[SPEAKER_00]: And keeping his window is open as long as it can possibly be open.
28:56
[SPEAKER_00]: So I just, that was just something that stuck out to me.
28:58
[SPEAKER_00]: But outside of that, Ben Johnson, you killing it, brother.
29:01
[SPEAKER_00]: You, you a bad enough man.
29:04
[SPEAKER_00]: You wanted the baddest that ever did in my God.
29:06
[SPEAKER_00]: I love you.
29:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Just don't do that so much.
29:08
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
29:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Just chill a little bit chill.
29:10
[SPEAKER_00]: You got to eat all of me.
29:11
[SPEAKER_00]: You got to sometimes when you got it.
29:13
[SPEAKER_00]: You want to keep showing up and all of you got to chill chill chill chill chill chill.
29:16
[SPEAKER_00]: You got it.
29:17
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
29:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Some of my negatives.
29:18
[SPEAKER_00]: You ready or do you want to go negatives right now?
29:20
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
29:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh.
29:23
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to save one of my positives for a game ball later.
29:26
[SPEAKER_01]: So we can flip to negatives and I think I know where you're going because it's kind of where I want to go next to and I have a feeling we're aligned here.
29:33
[SPEAKER_00]: So I want to open up.
29:35
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I've touched on the defense being an issue.
29:38
[SPEAKER_00]: The defensive backs, I mean, they weren't, they weren't really great.
29:43
[SPEAKER_00]: today, to say the least, there was some pressure in of the quarterback.
29:47
[SPEAKER_00]: It can be better.
29:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Montez, Montez, what you guys, sweat effect was sweat effected in.
29:52
[SPEAKER_00]: He had a sack.
29:52
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like he had at least two pressures to go along with that.
29:56
[SPEAKER_00]: I know he calls the sack when he got bracing out of the pocket and then David's street sack.
30:02
[SPEAKER_00]: But I think he made it done that twice.
30:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I feel like he, he calls two other sacks if I'm wrong, if I'm wrong, I'm wrong, I'm wrong, I'm wrong.
30:09
[SPEAKER_00]: But that the defense is of course as an issue, but it did seem like they were getting more pressure than they did last year And it did seem like they were better stopping the run even though they got gashed at times My other one of course is the return of Brexton Jones.
30:26
[SPEAKER_00]: There was a lot of this A lot of you didn't go where I thought you were gonna go.
30:30
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
30:31
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll have something to talk about.
30:31
[SPEAKER_01]: I love it.
30:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, go go go rail on Brexton Jones
30:35
[SPEAKER_00]: The return of Braxton Jones and one of the things that we all saw with Caleb having to do it and we're just having to do it only yes
30:46
[SPEAKER_00]: right and it's like let me bust like it's just like it's inferior look I'm happy because you know it's only usually coming from one spot and also it's same like down there right was getting a little action too all right it was some coming from that right side um there's some pressure coming from that right side too but uh practicing jones uh when Theo Benedict had to get in there due to that and it just makes me hope that odds at your pillow is closer to returning
31:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Then I was thinking like even this game like damn I hope they won't have the four they couldn't force I was just alone is I don't even know if you suited up.
31:20
[SPEAKER_00]: So I can't say that.
31:21
[SPEAKER_00]: But that was that was mine And then it was also last for me Jalen not looking like a probals the type of player
31:31
[SPEAKER_01]: I saved himself with the, uh, with the first punch.
31:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Of course, because he got beat.
31:36
[SPEAKER_00]: He, that guy, when I got, when, and on that route, when he went in and he swung, Jailip had to swing his hips and those hips was different than him up.
31:45
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, they were stiff.
31:46
[SPEAKER_00]: It was like, whoa, those, those, those, some stiff movement, young corner back.
31:51
[SPEAKER_00]: If it's his own young corner, like, you're a corner back.
31:53
[SPEAKER_00]: That was hips got to be, you got to be.
31:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Why didn't that, but yeah, Jalen didn't look like the shut down corner back that this defense is going to need going up against some of the top offenses in the league.
32:05
[SPEAKER_00]: As you mentioned down the line, they got to face Buffalo, DJ played well with Josh Allen a day.
32:12
[SPEAKER_00]: So you're going to need somebody getting that defensive back feels got to be elite the say to least.
32:17
[SPEAKER_01]: Torch by the damn Brooks.
32:18
[SPEAKER_01]: Also he was torch by Jonathan Brooks on
32:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
32:25
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not on panic mode on jail and Johnson yet.
32:27
[SPEAKER_01]: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
32:40
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, it reminded me of Brian or lacquer getting juiced to high heavens by Tom Brady, it wasn't quite that that was worse Brian or lacquer just was worse, but it definitely reminded me of that.
32:51
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm not panicked about Jalen Johnson yet, but he's that better games for sure.
32:57
[SPEAKER_01]: The one thing that really bothered me and it goes back to the first half of last season also teams man What is going on with teams?
33:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Shade Walker made some plays, but The kick return team they couldn't do anything.
33:12
[SPEAKER_01]: The first kick off of the game they let land in the landing zone and then go back.
33:18
[SPEAKER_01]: for a 20 yard touchback.
33:20
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that is a brutal way to start on teams.
33:23
[SPEAKER_01]: Cairo Santos had, I think, two short of the landing zone.
33:30
[SPEAKER_01]: They got a clean up the teams.
33:32
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, and then there was one, the field goal nearly blocked.
33:35
[SPEAKER_01]: Man, there was heat coming off the edge.
33:37
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like Cairo Santos just squirted it by those guys because there was some serious pressure coming
33:49
[SPEAKER_01]: Diode Angbo got a point after blocks, which is cool, I guess, but like the game was already over there.
33:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Diode and tough day also, my goodness.
33:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Diode.
33:57
[SPEAKER_00]: You want to talk about penalties.
33:59
[SPEAKER_01]: But teams.
33:59
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, there were a few moments.
34:00
[SPEAKER_01]: Juday Walker was good.
34:01
[SPEAKER_01]: They had the blocks PAT, but there is a lot, a lot, a lot to clean up on teams.
34:07
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like you said, same thing is the last year and that made, hey, that's going, if that continues this year, there needs to be a change in that situation.
34:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Then there was one props that I forgot.
34:17
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't get out.
34:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Malik Muhammad Rookie.
34:20
[SPEAKER_01]: That was to do it all seven for game balls.
34:22
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry.
34:23
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry.
34:23
[SPEAKER_00]: No, it's right.
34:24
[SPEAKER_00]: It's great.
34:24
[SPEAKER_00]: It's great.
34:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Malik Muhammad flashed him being thrown into play because perhaps someone's not playing right now.
34:33
[SPEAKER_00]: looks like a solid right now looks solid.
34:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Um Tyler, we might not need you that bad anyway, man.
34:39
[SPEAKER_00]: Get healthy.
34:39
[SPEAKER_00]: Come on, cross my mind.
34:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Um man, and in Tyrex Stevenson, um I just need that next step when it comes to what Tyrex Stevenson.
34:48
[SPEAKER_00]: I need I need I need I need another step and I don't know if that step is necessarily there.
34:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Um but yeah, that's that's that's that's what I got.
34:55
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
34:56
[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.
34:57
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, one more nice thing before we flip over to game balls that I did not mention in the good times chat.
35:04
[SPEAKER_01]: How about they're the job they did on third down on unbelievable 10 of 14 on third down, especially that first touchdown drive where Garrett Brad Barry had one of those holdings that you were talking about.
35:16
[SPEAKER_01]: He got beaten.
35:17
[SPEAKER_01]: He's like, oh, I let me just not get the guys behind me killed right now.
35:20
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
35:20
[SPEAKER_01]: Take a hold.
35:22
[SPEAKER_01]: and then they overcome that convert that third down.
35:24
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like that led you a lot of momentum, a lot of momentum on that third and long kind of set the tone for the offense for the rest of the day.
35:33
[SPEAKER_01]: And they were dynamite on third down all day.
35:36
[SPEAKER_01]: If that continues, even if, you know, they took that down a little bit.
35:39
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think there'd be 10 of 14 every week.
35:41
[SPEAKER_01]: But if they can stay,
35:43
[SPEAKER_01]: an extremely effective third down team on offense.
35:47
[SPEAKER_01]: This team is going to be extremely hard to beat.
35:51
[SPEAKER_01]: Because they didn't, although the penalties they did a good job of staying ahead of the sticks.
35:54
[SPEAKER_01]: They are going to be hard to beat.
35:57
[SPEAKER_00]: You got the bliped this.
35:58
[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to be.
36:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Because I think at one point, I don't know if you finish that really with it, but he may have cables like eight of eight on third-down
36:11
[SPEAKER_00]: like do when you get to the point where you do you know how disheartening it is when you get someone to throw and you keep getting them there and they keep getting out of that damn thing takes a lot of a defense yes it's I'm like I don't even feel like being out here no more you know what I'm saying like just can we can we speed this up because I got it's Sunday and I got some other stuff I can do after this game I am still rich
36:35
[SPEAKER_00]: for real like dude if that continues I want to get a shout out again given I've got to get Ben Johnson's props again.
36:43
[SPEAKER_00]: I just do I do I do I do I mean it's the take it's both of them together but oh my they they were ready for today.
36:53
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I'm saying like they're still submission it's the beginning of season two.
36:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's let's be honest you you have hardly played you hardly played but you've squimaged
37:01
[SPEAKER_01]: You have, we weren't showing all your stuff during the scrimmages.
37:04
[SPEAKER_00]: So, right, so it's just beginning to the year, and at the beginning, you throw 60 on a good team, they went to the playoffs, and they began to see, you're like, hey, take 60, take, take, take this which is back to the Queen City, or in the Queen City, which we get ready to go back home, but yeah, that, that right there.
37:19
[SPEAKER_00]: So, let's give out these game balls, man, to get up out of here.
37:22
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, okay.
37:23
[SPEAKER_01]: I will take.
37:24
[SPEAKER_01]: There are two extremely obvious ones.
37:26
[SPEAKER_01]: I will take the first extremely obvious one.
37:29
[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to the captain the quarterback Caleb Williams played an absolutely phenomenal game just with his legs with his arm with his mind with his decision making.
37:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Best young head coach in NFL just got you talking to you.
37:56
[SPEAKER_00]: So you may have a game ball as you you you rightly deserve to say the least.
38:00
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you want to talk about a balanced offense.
38:03
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, one second, I had it.
38:05
[SPEAKER_01]: 269 passing yards and
38:11
[SPEAKER_01]: where the rushing yards go 291, 261 passing yards 291 rushing yards.
38:18
[SPEAKER_01]: That is balanced, baby.
38:20
[SPEAKER_01]: That is a balanced offense.
38:21
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what we're talking about unbelievable.
38:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Great game ball for the coach.
38:26
[SPEAKER_01]: DeHunter is Swift.
38:28
[SPEAKER_01]: This is not a guy who cash the check and said, see you later, I got paid.
38:32
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm done, he's blocking, he's picking up blitzes, he's running, he's catching, that guy did it all, he had a hat trick, he had a hat trick today, DeAndrey Swift, I have a feeling he's gonna be the first of many game balls for you.
38:46
[SPEAKER_00]: I was going to split it up and give it to him and Kyle Monogas.
38:48
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'll give Kyle Monogas a game ball for coming in there and not dropping the level, not dropping it running back when you enter into that situation.
38:58
[SPEAKER_00]: I got to give Kyle Monogas a game ball.
39:00
[SPEAKER_01]: Give me a game ball.
39:02
[SPEAKER_01]: uh... mullicle helmet you're getting a game ball i kind of teaser earlier great performance from a rookie db came up with big interception that kind of quite a thing's down right around half that was big time you know because it was still even steven it was still even steven then and uh... fill it in for another guy at a spot he wasn't necessarily expected to play when he was drafted all talk was outside outside outside
39:30
[SPEAKER_01]: He availed himself very well with this opportunity, Malik Muhammad, take a game ball man.
39:37
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to give my last one to rookie Dylan Thetama, a total of 10 tackles, eight solo.
39:45
[SPEAKER_00]: And one could be hit, let me give it to the young rook out there, first round pick.
39:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Wasn't a situation where I feel like he got his ass hand into him, or he was playing out of position.
39:56
[SPEAKER_00]: He heard a lot about him playing slow during the city, getting adjusted to the speed of the NFL.
40:01
[SPEAKER_00]: He showed him receive my last and final gamble.
40:05
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think it's full on game ball where we've already given out a lot of game balls.
40:10
[SPEAKER_01]: We don't want to dilute it, but I'll give an adaboy to Kalee Freyman who I feel today was exactly what the bears were hoping to get from over the years with the bears were hoping to get from Zacchaeus last year.
40:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Raymond showed up and was that guy today.
40:28
[SPEAKER_01]: He was a little security blanket.
40:29
[SPEAKER_01]: He was extremely reliable.
40:30
[SPEAKER_01]: He knew exactly where to be.
40:32
[SPEAKER_01]: He was was what I saw throughout some catch and saw them all.
40:36
[SPEAKER_01]: And he got the job done.
40:38
[SPEAKER_01]: Lead the lead lead the lead lead the team and catches.
40:42
[SPEAKER_01]: So at a boy, Khalifa, and welcome to Chicago.
40:45
[SPEAKER_00]: I think to me, they kind of got what they wanted to get out of
40:50
[SPEAKER_00]: If I'm being honest with you, it's not a knock, it's not a knock on the, I think what they wanted from the player mixed with the money that he was about to start receiving with that extension kick it in with how, how, what what then Johnson thinks he has in Rome, what he has in Burton.
41:08
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's like, you know what, this guy can be that between that type of guy.
41:12
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's kind, it may be a mixture of both of those players, but I think it was because even when you look at how they use them in the, with the screen game or whatever and how they try to use DJ and that man, it was just something, it's not a knock on DJ at all.
41:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Something didn't click with DJ.
41:28
[SPEAKER_00]: this scheme and Caleb, it's just, it's just, it's nothing, there's nothing wrong with saying that because DJ is going to play well in Buffalo DJ and I get to, yeah, and we're going to say we've had if you didn't like his body mannerisms at the time, he's going to tough his various period.
41:44
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, period.
41:46
[SPEAKER_00]: So don't, you can't diss him when he showed up all the time.
41:49
[SPEAKER_00]: So before half five memories of him, he's gone.
41:52
[SPEAKER_00]: He provided a second round pick.
41:54
[SPEAKER_00]: But that, I think that's kind of what they want.
41:56
[SPEAKER_00]: You know why I said that too?
41:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Because I felt like what Ben Johnson wanted from B.J.
42:02
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, D.J.
42:03
[SPEAKER_00]: was to keep drives going.
42:05
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I'm saying?
42:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, sometimes, last year when we were like,
42:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Why doesn't he have any tarq?
42:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Where's his tarq?
42:11
[SPEAKER_00]: It's so low whatever.
42:12
[SPEAKER_00]: It just didn't it didn't match up.
42:14
[SPEAKER_00]: It just something wasn't right.
42:15
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what something didn't necessarily match up and look you saw what it is today.
42:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen, if if he wasn't getting paid that type of money, of course you want to have DJ here, whatever, hope they can figure it out, but you talk about the type of money that hit was his contract distinction was won kick in the season.
42:28
[SPEAKER_00]: what you planned on doing, you saw what Luther Burden and Rome can do as you have two guys or whatever.
42:35
[SPEAKER_00]: It's still not enough balls to go around and you're seeing coasts and then really get getting to targets.
42:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, two targets, but also the good part is you got another guy on the other side of them that can go get it done and co-comment.
42:48
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I'm saying?
42:49
[SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, so anyway man, this was fun.
42:53
[SPEAKER_00]: This was fun.
42:54
[SPEAKER_00]: And this is this is how you come off a last year and you go into this year with thinking you have an MVP type of quarterback and a really great head coach and both of them just come out like gangbusters and
43:13
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I'm saying?
43:14
[SPEAKER_00]: So, shout out to the beloved.
43:17
[SPEAKER_00]: This was an enjoyable Sunday afternoon to say to least, we look forward to this season.
43:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Look, it's going to be a hard season.
43:25
[SPEAKER_00]: But like this funny afternoon, I was talking.
43:28
[SPEAKER_00]: And she was talking about when Adam Amine was referring to Jalen Johnson talking about Ben Johnson, telecom about going to the Super Bowl.
43:37
[SPEAKER_00]: She's like, well, those aren't the courts who do that all the time.
43:40
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, yeah, but teams never really have a real chance.
43:43
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
43:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, they actually have another day in a minute and teams that say it.
43:47
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
43:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Stay it.
43:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, like, you know, that doesn't mean like, we're going to shoot even all the way.
43:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, like you, his first season, he had the right to say they were going to go to a Super Bowl, but like Matt Epofus ever mentioned in Super Bowl, their whole office should be shut down, you know what I'm saying?
44:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, it's, it's not, no, somebody's not fair to him.
44:02
[SPEAKER_00]: They ripped the tent to the studs when he got here.
44:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, so it's not, it wasn't all on him.
44:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, they never gave him a three-tech meat, oh, whatever.
44:09
[SPEAKER_00]: But that's the past and we don't want to stay there anymore, everybody.
44:12
[SPEAKER_00]: This is a future we have not seen.
44:14
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm not even just joking.
44:18
[SPEAKER_00]: You can miss any good bear's quarterback of the past guess what that motherfucker wasn't this all right like this with that kid can do is crazy All right from the arm angles to put the ball placement to the escape ability
44:35
[SPEAKER_00]: It's the innate ability to just beat.
44:38
[SPEAKER_00]: And the fact of the question was, can he play on schedule when he goes out to the day, and he basically plays on schedule unless he was pressured?
44:44
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, he had a couple of away.
44:45
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, and then his count is going to play a little sandline.
44:48
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, that's a, let's say, let's say a little sandline is fine.
44:51
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just not half of the damn playbook is sandline.
44:54
[SPEAKER_00]: That's, that's a damn issue, or whatever.
44:57
[SPEAKER_00]: But again, this was a great win, but definitely back to preview the upcoming game against the Vikings.
45:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, see him with their gonna do today.
45:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, is everything else you want to say before good at it?
45:09
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, a couple things.
45:11
[SPEAKER_01]: One, uh, one, I like that you said we're looking, we're not looking towards the past anymore.
45:17
[SPEAKER_01]: We're looking towards the future.
45:19
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a new dawn.
45:19
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a new day.
45:20
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a new era shout out happy new year to all our Jewish listeners.

45:39
[SPEAKER_01]: So we're done talking about the past bears.
